I usually invest in good, very dark chocolate, like Lindt Swiss Bittersweet and other premium brands like that. I like my chocolate extra strong and bitter, and a little goes a long way. I have been able to break off just the number of squares/calories I want and be satisfied with that. It's especially awesome with a cup of coffee, and just a little chocolate becomes a special event in that case.0

Nutella is my yummy fix with some animal crackers, sometimes just in a spoon.
I wish I could keep Nutella in the house without eating it all within 2 days...
I can put it on just about anything and be happy lol. I have my 22 month old nephew hooked lol0 -
Chocolate and peanut butter sounds sinful, but a must try. Thanks for the idea!0

Shapes chocolate yoghurt is a nice fix but nothing like the real thing. Morrisons had Lindt chocolate on sample today I ate 3 pieces. Oops I forgot to log it too :blushing:0

I love my fiber one brownies, the ones in the USA are only 90 calories. As for hot coco mix Swiss miss has some that are 25 calories.0

Saving this for later! Thanks!0 -
I eat one dark chocolate Ghirardelli square (with sea salt caramel) a day. I just automatically include it in MYP journal in the mornings usually. It is like 60 or so calories for one...and so worth it to me! Oh, I like them chilled to so it takes me a little longer to eat it. I keep my bag in the freezer.
Another vote for the Ghiradelli squares. The 72% Intense Dark are 55 calories per individually wrapped square.0 -

Wow this looks amazing! and it fits in my wheat-free lifestyle. Thanks so much!0 -
Health food blogs like Dashingdish.com and chocolatecoveredkatie.com have been my savior. I make their healthy versions of desserts and chocolate every week so that when I do indulge in some chocolate, there's usually some nutritional content to it as well (like this: http://dashingdish.com/recipe/triple-chocolate-chunk-muffins/ ). Although warning for DashingDish- some of the recipes you have to be a paid member to see. But there are still plenty of free recipes, especially if you look at some of her older posts.
Another thing I do is I make myself a chocolate protein shake, either in the morning to take to work as my breakfast, or as my snack in the afternoon. I use 1 cup of original almond milk (60 calories), 1/2 scoop or up to 1 scoop of Optimum Nutrition Casein Chocolate Protein Powder (this seems to be the best chocolate protein powder I've found, it's 120 calories for 1 full scoop, 60 for half), 1 tbs of unsweetened cocoa powder (10 calories) & a few ice cubes. Sometimes I'll use a full scoop of the protein powder, depending on my activity for the day, or how many calories I've had for the day. I think adding a small amount of peanut butter or PB2 is something that would be really yummy too. It really hits the spot for me to have a yummy and nutritious chocolate shake.
Good luck!0 -
I like the Skinny Cow dark chocolate Dream Clusters. There are five in the pack. I try to make one pack last all day.0

For the hot chocolate with peanut butter, I found a packet at krogers for only 25 caloreis. It is kroger brand called dutch milk chocolate. Lots of good ideas on here..thanks

These are my main chocolate sources. I also have a huge chocolate-tooth, and with these, I can go weeks without buying processed chocolate.0 -

Just made the gingerbread dough recipe off that site. It's now my new favourite!0 -
Hershey's Bliss Dark (70%, can't do the higher stuff). 70 calories for 2 pieces. By adding a bunch of other stuff the calories go up and it isn't nearly as satisfying.0

Edit: Someone already posted Chocolate Covered Katie's blog - never mind!0

I don't eat any chocolate anymore. What I have done is bought chocolate protein powders. I mix it into oatmeal, the milk in my cereal, yogurt, etc. Sometimes I'll just use 1 tablespoon (usually around 20 calories) and I don't feel guilty because I know that it has no fat or carbs and 4-5 grams of protein!0
